When I found out about the incident that happened I was in shock. It made me think, I am safe in my own school? Are the other students safe? It’s unbelievable how someone can walk into a school unsuspected and there is no security around to check for ID or ask why they are there?

This event not only changed me as one individual but the whole country and the way we are keeping our children safe. How can we add more safety to secure us or any other schools? I am a former student and I think about what if that event would have happen in the school that I was at?

I think that everyone is more cautious when it comes to children’s safety. I ask what are the communities doing every day to improve our safety? I don’t know how it feels to lose a loved one. It must be hard for you to continue on with your life knowing that they are gone and I hope this letter gives you the courage and strength to wake up every morning.

Even if they are gone they will remain in our hearts and memories. We must all come together protect the ones we love, we must keep them safe. As a student I am scared that this could happen again in my school or in other areas as well. That is why there has to be a new way to keeps kids safe in school.
